So do cars. Recently, my 1993 Mazda 626LX has decided that it wanted to go to car heaven on me. The reason I believe that my car is deserving of heaven, is that i only paid 2 grand for it and it has lasted me 3 years. Thats a tough little car. 3 years, and almost no money put into it other then gas.

So, if it is indeed time for my car to die. I wish to say adue and give my car an E-kiss for all the wonderful times we have had. Now, please just get me home?!?

I went to see my Fiancee for her schools Banquet and had quite a wonderful time. I also got to spend time with one of my best friends. It was good to see him. He recently got married and pretty much fell off the face of the planet for about 3 or 4 months..mabye more. So yeah, that was super good times had by all.

Also, I went to see the movie "I Am Legend" which I must say was damn good. First off, and most importantly, before the movie starts there was a trailer for "The Dark Knight" which is the new batman movie. That in of itself was enough for me to want to see the movie. Personally, the rest of it could have sucked (which is most assuredly did not) and I still would have paid to see the trailer.

"I Am Legend" was one of those movies that when it ends, you almost cry. Which has nothing to do with the movie. You are just so overwhelmingly sad that the movie has ended that you sit for a moment in a daze and wish that there where 3 or 4 more hours of movie to watch. That my friends, is what a movie is supposed to be like.

After all of this amazing fun, and hangin with my woman and my bud. Thing of course had to come crashing down on me. God apparently has an amazing way of reminding me that its only by his permission that I even get through a single week.

As I started to drive home, my car began to overheat. Then the engine light came on, and then it started to vent steam and a little smoke. So I made it as far as my Fiancee's mom's house and here I sit monologuing the events of my past weekend inside my head while typing them out for the world to see.

Interesting weekend it has been.

On another note, I have desperately been trying to pick up reading again (Yes, it is indeed something you must strive to do) and I am really enjoying a book series I have been reading called "The Dresden Files". It's about a Wizard who works as a private eye in Chicagoland, and all the unfortunant things that befall a man who claims to be a Wizard. :) It's rather good in that "Dime store novel" kinda way. I have been enjoying it, although im sure it prolly is not for everyone.

Well, with that recount of my weekend and the impending doom that is sleep creeping up on my eyelids. I do believe it is time for me to go to bed and try and forget my problems untill the morning.

As always,
